An interesting article on LYCRA and Women

That being said... Senior Girls had to get special lycra uniforms for interschool netball as the shorts were deemed inappropriate at the time. (1998) >_<

Out of curiosity... what is "netball"?

[enzed]

Netball is kinda of like basketball. It's generally a womans sport, with 7 on each team. The ball is passed from player to player.
There are some rules, like not being able to hold the ball for more than 3 seconds & no stepping with the ball.
I've never played the game much, as I've never been too good at team sports. But I do support the "Silver ferns" ie the NZ team. It's also played in Oz, england, south africa & few other countries.
